Default Views
All Assignments
- Used to see ALL assignments for all Active Projects.
- A good starting place if you are going to make a custom listing.
Current Work list
- Only the current task(s) within a schedule (based on predecessors) that have not been completed will be displayed.
- This is good if you want to focus on the current task assignment yet to compete for all current active projects.
Due But Not Done
- All tasks assignments that are not complete and due as of or before today.
- This listing by default filters to show you all assignments still open on projects and tasks that are past due. So if the project is in an active status and the task is not 100% done, then any assignment on that task will show in the list. From experience you want this report to be no longer than a page or two.
Make your own custom view...
